Tack is a kick ass rock band made up of incognito musicians and composers of the musical scores behind some of your favorite movies.

Stop by tonight to give Tack some love, appreciation, and support and listen to their unique brand of butt-kicking rock music. ==D~~(o)(o)==D~~(o)(o)==D~~(o)(o)==D~~(o)(o)==D~~(o)(o)==D~~(o)(o) ==D~~(o)(o)==D~~(o)(o)==D~~(o)(o)==D~~(o)(o)==D~~(o)(o)==D~~(o)(o) ** MAY 14 - 16: JOSHUA TREE MUSIC FESTIVAL ** An all-around great alternative outdoor music, camping, and community oriented live music event. Check the Joshua Tree website for details: http://www.joshuatreemusicfestival.com The Joshua Tree Music Festival is produced by a family of friends and funsters convinced that music is the soul of life, and that art enriches and saves lives. That the experience is enhanced when embraced in the great outdoors amongst fellow music lovers. Better still in an intimate setting, where the distinction between artist and audience is blurred, and a passionate performance can be truly relished in close proximity to the stage. Add FREE water to patrons, no service charges on reasonably priced tickets, and well.....let the games begin. ==D~~(o)(o)==D~~(o)(o)==D~~(o)(o)==D~~(o)(o)==D~~(o)(o)==D~~(o)(o) ==D~~(o)(o)==D~~(o)(o)==D~~(o)(o)==D~~(o)(o)==D~~(o)(o)==D~~(o)(o) ** May 15th: OPULENT TEMPLE IN LA ** 9pm - 6am Buy presale tickets http://www.opulenttemple.org Opulent Temple goes La La with an underground fundraiser in the City of Angels (in association with Pantheon) Taking our hopes for 2010 on tour, we'll be coming south to bring the Opulent beats and vibe at a proper underground spot on the west side.

Since it is a Sunday we are starting a little earlier. We will open our doors at 6:30pm and start the film at 7:00pm. We will encourage people to bring their dinner, and blankets to sit on or pillows. Its like a picnic in the cemetery but with no dead bodies and no grass. So you can sit, eat dinner, and watch a BM film. Then relax under the awesome decor that is Mission:Control and have a great social gathering after the film till 11pm. Its the LIVE social networking site. (this is a leave no trace event) EVERY MONTH: We will be having a clothing swap right after the film. I know you are all spring cleaning, so bag up your old clothes and bring them with you to the screening. All sizes welcome. Shoes and accessories too. Hell, bring it all. Your trash is an others treasure. And please mark your calendars for the next dates in the LA BM Film Series. Its a great and relaxing way to visit with your fellow burners, meet new people, and make new friends.
